Neu bcrger (D-Ore) says Portland, Ore. should be declared a "dis tressed" unemployment area so the government will award more contracts there. He said the Labor Department had declared the area as one of "about average employment." The present rate of jobless in the city, he said, is 9.4 per cent of the workers, compared with the 9.3 per cent when it was given a "distressed" designation. "Distressed" areas receive special consideration in the award of contracts as a means of pro viding' more jobs. , Brazil is a major republic of South America.

Worthy, American Negro newspap erman, said last night he defied the State Department ban on trav el In Red China "to uphold the principle of freedom of the press." "I went to Red China primar ily for the story, but also for the principle." he said. "The right to free movement is very precious." Worthy, a reporter for the Bal timore Afro - American, was the first U.S. correspondent to enter Communist China. He said he still has his passport and will fight any action the State Department may try to take against him -for breaking its ban. "It's a matter of upholding the principle of freedom of the press," lie said on a television program. "If the government is allowed to tell a reporter where he can go, then it will be telling him what he can report." Knew of No Penalties Worthy arrived here after land ing in Boston earlier from Vienna. He had left Red China after a 41- day visit via Russia and then went to Budapest betore going to Vienna. He said he did not know what penalties the State Department planned to impose on him, if any. He said that when he landed at Boston, the customs officers leafed through his passport, and then handed it back to him without marking it "accepted" as usually is done. He held the passport up for the television camera and said "here it' is." Worthy said he thought the Com munist government invited U.S. reporters to "embarrass the Unit ed States and to show off their material achievement, of which they arc very proud." Want Recognition He said he saw "no evidence" to back up a charge by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that Red China wanted to make a deal, to exchange the 10 U.S. prisoners for State Department permission to let American reporters enter their country. "I heard nothing about a deal to exchange newsmen for prison ers." he said. "1 think they're holding the prisoners as hostages. "They want to use Ihem to get U.S. recognition of Red China, to obtain high level talks with America --and: other things," Worthy said. He said he was permitted to sec only one of the 10 American pris oners held by the Reds, the Rev. Paul Mackensen, a Lutheran min ister from Baltimore who was jailed by the Communists in 1952. He described Mackensen as "brainwashed" and said "it was a moving and tragic experience to see him." , Egypt to Pass British Ships LONDON Iffl Foreign Secre tary Selwyn Lloyd announced Monday Britain has received as surances her ships will be allowed through the Suez Canal once that blocked waterway is cleared. He told the House of Commons Egypt gave the assurances to the United Naions,., which relayed them to Britain.

S. Ross, com mittee chairman. Total cost shares totaling nearly $128,000 were earned by Polk county farmers for applying con servation practices on their farms. The increased demand partly re sulted from the floods during the winter of 1955-1956., Practices of permanent nature brought the greatest demand. A total of 858.264 feet or 163 miles of tile draining approximately 1800 acres was installed, continued Ross. Another accomplishment was 6100 feet of channel work per formed on Rickreall creek and the Luckiamute river which required over 4,000 cubic yards of rip-rap or large rock. Other work included approxi mately 58,000 feet of open ditch, 10 storage reservoirs, sod waterways,- land leveling, and grading and shaping 91 flood damaged acres. Total cost of this work rep resents a total Investment of ap proximately 195,000 which re ceived either so or 80 per cent Federal cost sharing. Technical assistance was furnished by the soil conservation service In agree ment withx the county committee, Less Inspection Made of Grocery Stores in Year The year-end summary of food market inspections by the stale department of agriculture shows 174 grocery establishments were checked in 1956. Five years ago 625 of these markets were in spected. This is good news, not bed news, for consumers. These stores just don't need as much inspection as formerly. Many of the Oregon grocery stores are ahead of the require ments of the sanitation laws, de clares 0. K. Bcals, chief of foods and dairies work for the depart ment. He attributes this to competi tion, consumer demand and the in creasing number of big markets. In manv stores, the backroom is about the only place where the de partment finds violations of the state sanitation requirements.
